SA XD-45ACP Tactical spring differences

[ProfessorRico]

I have noticed that my XD 45 has a single spring in it, while other XD's (all I have seen) have the 2-piece spring assembly. Why is this spring different, and is it good or bad?

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Thanks!

Did you buy it new, and do you have a picture of it?

The xd tactical does have a one piece guiderod and spring assembly. which is a better setup than the two piece guiderod assembly. A person can up the spring to a 20lb. or change the whole guiderod to be able to use any 1911 spring. That way you could go up to a 28lb. spring.
